In the Miami Heat’s game at the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday night, Erik Spoelstra started Max Strus and played both Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro off the bench. (Both Strus and Robinson returned from health-and-safety protocols.) And Strus made seven 3s on his way to a game-high 25 points to give Miami a much-needed win.
Strus’ strong performance Wednesday night — and his dramatic improvement from last season — has led some to wonder if Max Strus should take Robinson’s starting job next to Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler. The Heat podcast 5 on the Floor discussed it on its most recent episode.
